Research Room Allocation Policy

Graduate research and honours dissertation rooms are available to students who do not have a workspace available in their unit or department and who are registered in their program for the period of the room assignment. Students wishing to apply for a research room must present a completed  research and study room request form‌ to the staff at the Public Services desk in the Queen Elizabeth II Library or by emailing a completed form to qe2circ@mun.ca

*All rooms are currently in use and your name will be placed on a waitlist.

Update, effective August 2024: 

The distribution of rooms and assignment criteria are as follows:

  • Rooms for PhD level students be assigned for a period of two years. 
  • Rooms for Masters level students be assigned for a period of one year. 
  • Rooms  for honours students will be assigned for a maximun two consecutive terms. Applications must be signed by the faculty member overseeing the dissertation

Students may reapply and be placed on the waitlist if they require more time in a research room after the maximum period is reached.

*Students who no longer require a research room, or who have had access to a research room for the maximun period, must return the room key within the time frame specified on the renewal notice. Failure to return the key will result in a $10.00 key replacement fine.
